Headlining the Pyramid stage for the 4th time ( a feat only Coldplay have equalled until Peter Griffin got kicked out) our chaps are making a bit of history tonight.
Glastonbury festival isn’t even in Glastonbury. It’s not even in a village. It’s between 2 villages, Pilton & Pylle on Worthy Farm & is the biggest open air music festival in the world.
The town itself is often linked with King Arthur, so faithfully portrayed by Graham Chapman in 1975, who is believed to have stopped by for some shrubbery on his way to Camelot.
Archeological excavations of Glastonbury’s famous Tor have found buildings dating from the Saxon period, around the time of the release of their second album & is a magnet for hippies & the Knights Templar who believe it is the home of the Holy Grail, although Tom Hanks disputes that, believing it to be somewhere in Paris…..silly English kiniggits!
More recent myths from leading hippies report that a mahoosive zodiac is said to have been carved (by ancient hippies) into the land along old trackways & *hedgerows (*made famous by Led Zeppelin). But further studies have confirmed that this is, in fact, a crock. Bloke down the pub really wanted to go on & even claimed to know the whereabouts of Arthur’s & Guinevere’s remains after the monks at the abbey “lost them” in the 12 century. Apparently they’re under the car park at the big Tesco on Wirral Park Road, but I have to keep it fairly short so you don’t all fall asleep.
I think that pretty much covers the town, so to the event itself. Among the 135,000 celebrities, influencers, millennials & drug dealers today will be our own shivadread , dondo & maccatori ( & Spiderman ) & we wish them the best time ever as they finish their stargazy pie alongside some Firkin Strong Cheddar Scrumpy & make their way to the mosh pit.
As for streams, well you all know Auntie Beeb has it covered so get some cold ones in the fridge & some snacks ready & enjoy the best band currently roaming the planet.
As for colours, well the festival poster seems to be a free-for-all, so let’s go mad shall we?
